To prepare, preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the packaging, typically around 400-425°F (200-220°C). Remove the pizza from all packaging. Place the pizza directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet for a crispier crust. Bake for the recommended time, usually 12-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pizzas with standard cow's milk mozzarella, this pizza uses Italian buffalo mozzarella, which is known for its richer, creamier texture and slightly sweeter taste. The addition of fresh arugula after baking provides a peppery contrast that is less common on traditional frozen pizzas, offering a more complex flavor profile.
Who it is for
This pizza is for anyone who enjoys a flavorful and convenient frozen meal.
How to keep the rest
Keep this pizza frozen until ready to use. Once thawed, do not refreeze. Store in the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Ensure the packaging remains sealed to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
